Nokia sues Apple for patent infringements on the iPhone
Share:
The patents cover speech coding, wireless data, security and encryption and are infringed by every iPhone shipped by Apple since the first unit rolled off the assembly line and was shipped back in 2007. Ikka Rahnasto, VP for Legal and Intellectual Property for Nokia, said, "By refusing to agree (to) appropriate terms for Nokia's intellectual property, Apple is attempting to get a free ride on the back of Nokia's innovation." The report, written in today's New York Times, did not mention how much in damages Nokia is seeking from Apple.

It's a Sue-fest in the technological world. AT&T just announced they are suing LG, Samsung and other because of price fixing... Sprint and iPCS and their suing ordeals... Qualcomm and Nokia... I am not sure it will ever end. Maybe Apple can just settle with them with all the money they made last quarter, eh?

Nokia must sue every phone makers that used GSM, UMTS, and LAN to make up Nokia the loss of profit for this year to sue Apple alone is not right. Apple should counter sue for all the expenses for the lawyers, documentations, and waste of time if the lawsuit does happen.

They don't have to sue all other phone makers because they already have license agreements paid for use of their technology.

And so it begins...The once untouchable company which has been considered as innovative, is now seeing that being the best(Verizon Wireless) has its downsides. The target on your back only gets bigger...

Hopefully Apple will be taken down a notch like Microsoft was in the 90s

Everyone should do each other a favor (If we could all put our fanboyisms away-including myself) and mark "musthavdroid" down for all this spam and hit the "!" (exclamation mark Button) to report this rediculous recurring post as spam.

Geez... look Droid is not a smartphone, imagio is a smartphone. There you go, Droid is not even out yet, so i can't give you any information about it. If you want to pay 30 buck a month additionally for data plan, get imagio then.

You dont think that an Android device will be classified as a smart phone? I dont even understand why you would ever say that... of course its gonna have a data plan required to use it, and Verizon DOES classify the Droid as a smart phone, because it is one

Apple is the new Microsoft. Soon they will be universally reviled like Microsoft is. This happens when one company dominates a market (iPod, iTunes, iPhones, iMacs)
